Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Design Drawings
After a small cleanup of the moths in the temple, Luo Youdu met with a white-bodied craftsman named Yu Hao in Yanhe Hall.
This Yu Hao is quite impressive. His architectural craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world. He can be called the first craftsman of this era. He is a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. He is good at building palaces and pagodas. He has left behind legends such as Yu Hao Ding Pagoda and Yu Hao Building Pagodas. Especially his
Historically, the 13-story, 360-foot-high tower built for Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi was even more astonishing.
Ouyang Xiu commented in Guitian Lu: His efforts were so refined that there was only one carpenter in the history of the country.
However, Luo Youdu did not remember such a prominent figure in history. After all, the status of craftsmen was not high.
Except for a few outstanding figures like Yu Kai who designed Daxing City and Luoyang City in the Sui Dynasty, the most familiar ones are sages such as Lu Ban and Mozi.
But as the protagonist of Yu Haoding Pagoda, Qian Hongchu had a deep impression on Yu Hao. Yu Hao was introduced to Luo Youdu by Qian Hongchu.
Qian Hongchu knew that Luo Youdu was determined to rebuild Luoyang City and Luoyang Palace, so he recommended Yu Hao to Luo Youdu and praised his attainments in carpentry.
Qian Hongchu himself didn't know that this recommendation helped a lot. Since Luo Youdu revealed his proposal to rebuild Luoyang City, the Ministry of Industry and Engineering has given out many planning plans, but they were all perfunctory.
Although Luo Youdu didn't understand, he could still see the good and the bad. From then on, he felt that some officials were causing harm in the mainland.
I pretended not to know just to see how many people there were and how courageous they were. The Ministry of Works was unreliable, and Yu Hao's appearance just solved the urgent need.
Luo Youdu asked Wu Tingzuo, who stayed in Luoyang, to cooperate with Yu Hao to design a repair drawing. It took more than two months, and Yu Hao had completed the first draft, so he came to see him.
This was Yu Hao's second time to meet the Holy Spirit. Even so, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. Yu Hao's status was very low, unlike Yu Kai, who came from a family of military generals and had the blessing of status.
Yu Hao is a humble construction craftsman, with the lowest status among scholars, farmers, and merchants. He was able to reach this point and be recognized and recommended by Qian Hongchu because of his own strength.
But facing the person with the highest status in the world, Yu Hao still couldn't hide his uneasiness and was very awkward when speaking. He gingerly handed over the drawings of his plans to the chamberlain.
The drawings are so large that Luo Youdu's desk can't even fit inside them.
"Hold up the drawings!" Luo Youdu often looked at his own country drawings, and the waiter hung up the drawings with ease.
A majestic city suddenly appeared on the paper, and a flash of surprise flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes. This is what a capital city should look like.
The capital is crowded, which is unavoidable, but one million people crowded into Bianjing, which is more than 20 miles away, is different from two million people crowded into Luoyang, which is 44 square kilometers.
Yu Hao's planning drawings are more than ten times better than the previous drawings drawn by the Ministry of Industry. Luo Youdu really doesn't believe that the level of officials in the Ministry of Industry is low.
This makes moving the capital more difficult in all aspects. Luo Youdu said: "It looks very good. Please introduce it to me. I don't understand this." Yu Hao said with a bit of uneasiness: "The common people think that Yu Kai
The senior plan was not used and did not require major changes. He combined Luoyang's mountains and landforms. The grassroots felt that it was already very good, but some adjustments needed to be made in the details. The grassroots reviewed the previous information and found out which places were prone to water accumulation and which areas were prone to blockage.
, and supplemented the deficiencies in details. Here." Yu Hao's voice was trembling a little at first, but as he talked about his own field, he became more and more fluent, and his timid eyes became brighter, and he talked endlessly about his own experience.
Improvements and opinions.
How many times in this life did he have the opportunity to improve and build a city or a palace? Although Yu Hao was not from a high background, he also had his own ideals. For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he devoted himself to it without sleep or food.
Luo Youdu couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Yu Hao came back to his senses and said timidly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, do you have any suggestions for Luoyang Palace?" Luo Youdu asked in return: "How do you say it?" Yu Hao asked.
He said with a bit of fear: "As majestic as the former Emperor Gaozong, or as grand and magnificent as Empress Wu?" Luo Youdu's face turned red unexpectedly and said: "Simple and majestic, I am a little shy in my pocket, so I don't need to be too much.
Gorgeous, but to show the majesty of the imperial court." Yu Hao's timid eyes showed a bit of respect and said: "Grass people, I understand." Luo Youdu said: "Don't call me grass folks, I will name you a member of the Ministry of Industry.
Assist Minister Situ Xu to finalize the design." As he said this, he immediately summoned Situ Xu, Minister of Industry.
Situ Xu was one of the oldest ministers in the temple, serving in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and later Zhou dynasties. In the past, he would have retired and returned to his hometown long ago. During the Guo Rong Dynasty, he had requested to serve because of his foot illness.
But the situation of the Luo Yu court was comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Situ Xu was an old man, so he would have to last a few more years no matter what.
Situ Xu was nearly seventy this year, but he was still strong. After discovering the moth in the Ministry of Works, he cooperated with the court to take down Tao Qiu, the minister of the Ministry of Works, and his party members, and reorganized the Ministry of Works.
Luo Youdu then safely handed over Yu Hao to Situ Xu. Situ Xu was at the cusp of the storm and did not dare to neglect, urging the Ministry of Industry to revise Yu Hao's design drawings.
It only took half a month before the Ministry of Industry handed over the final version. Luo Youdu looked at the more detailed final version and nodded with satisfaction.
"Take a rubbing of this design drawing and send it back to me!" Luo Youdu said, and then said to the chamberlain: "Inform the Shangshi Bureau and ask them to prepare a banquet. I want to invite the palace commander, horse commander, and step commander.
Shuai and Cao both went to the banquet and invited Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, Liu Fu, Dang Jin, Shu Yuan, Kang Zaiyu, and Kang Baoyi and his son to the banquet." This time, in addition to Han Lingkun, Han Tong, and Gao Huaide, the people he invited were
, Shi Shouxin, and Cao Bin, the others were all veterans of the Royal Camp Division who followed him on the battlefield and killed him.
Now these people have become the core backbone of the Forbidden Army. Luo Youdu invited guests, and the invited generals naturally did not dare to be careless. They dressed up early and waited outside the palace early. Everyone was acquaintances, and three or five people gathered together to chat.
boast.
Han Tong was not Luo Youdu's loyal friend. Over the years, his son Han Wei's status in the Privy Council has also risen, and he has naturally integrated into it.
He said to Han Lingkun: "Old Han, why did your Majesty invite us to the banquet?" Before Han Lingkun could answer, Shi Shouxin said first: "What's the point? His Majesty is lonely in the palace and wants to drink with us.
." Han Tong rolled his eyes at the brainless guy and said, "What I'm talking about is that I'm a little restless." Han Lingkun snorted contemptuously and said, "It has nothing to do with us. What else can a bunch of talkative guys do?
When His Majesty really needs us, he will naturally give the order." Han Tong was right.
The ministers looked down upon the military ministers, how could they, the military ministers, look down upon the ministers?
